From what I understand, OpenPackages is attempting a far more pragmatic approach to bridging existing ports/packages technologies so that all the *BSD (and perhaps Linux) groups have something more closely resembling a unified technology base. The PackageNG AKA libh project is working on something much more research-oriented and nobody is even willing to commit to a date when/if this will become an operational "product", it's that radically different. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
